Case Study: Trustlink (Pty) Ltd achieves continuous SWIFT availability and rapid 13-minute failover with Carbonite DoubleTake Availability

Trustlink (Pty) Ltd - Customer Case Study

Trustlink (Pty) Ltd, a Pretoria-based SWIFT service bureau supporting more than 80 customers across Africa, faced a critical challenge: any downtime in its SWIFT processing would halt global financial transactions and cause unacceptable losses. Trustlink needed a ready-to-run replica that not only copied data but also preserved system settings, file permissions and messaging queues so failovers could be immediate and reliable.

Trustlink implemented Carbonite DoubleTake Availability to replicate entire production servers—including applications, configurations, permissions and MQSeries—in real time. A mandated failover test completed in 13 minutes 33 seconds, demonstrating recovery to the point of failure, dramatically reduced downtime, virtually unattended operation and greater operational confidence; Trustlink is expanding the deployment and now resells the solution.
